Finally, the GOOD version, of the Reunion Fanvid I wanted to make. Reunion was recorded in 2004 for the Detroit Deli (A Taste of Detroit) album. It features Dilla on the first verse, T3 and Elzhi rap about former member of Slum Village : Baatin.

"A lot of people think that's a Dilla track, but it was produced by Black Milk, Dilla is just rapping on it. Basically what happened was me and [producer] Young RJ went over Dilla's house, playing joints for him off the album 'cause we wanted to work with him on it. We played a couple joints and he picked to rap on that one. Originally it was supposed to be me, him, Baatin and Elzhi, but Baatin at the time wasn't feeling doing anything Slum Village.

Me and Elzhi already had our verses, then Dilla put his "rep mo' D than 12 Eminems" verse down, then Elzhi said, "You know what, I'ma keep it real. I'ma tell people what really happened with Baatin cause they lookin at us like, 'T3 kicked Baatin out.'" I didn't kick him out, he left the group. Elzhi wanted to tell the truth and he did it. That's when he put his "unlawful demons" verse down. He called Baatin up maybe like a week after he did it and was still asking him to get on the song, but Baatin never did.

It was supposed to be four of us but Baatin was going through his whole struggle. I'm kind of mad that we never got to make a reunion LP, 'cause me and Dilla always talked about doing it. It's kind of upsetting that we didn't get to close the Slum Village chapter like that. Now it's at a point like, where do we go from here?" - T3

Baatin died on today's date, July 31, 2009, three years ago. Much respect to him. RIP Titus "Baatin" Glover.

There'd be a lot less bullshit if everybody listened to cuts like this.

[MCneilintheplace]

Black Milk does.

The name of the song you seek is "Raise It Up". If I'm not mistaken, that video was actually shot on the same day (and the same set) as the video for "Climax". Both tracks are from Slum Village's "Fantastic, Vol. 2" album.

@timo710

the video where it sais mtv base at the top, what song is that?

[legendarilyrefined]

There are definitely other artists/songs of this caliber out there that I would recommend, as we have to do what we can to spread the word regarding such music that doesn't always receive the press/pub it deserves. Youtube, although gradually becoming a bit too commercialized (in capitalistic fashion), is a great medium for doing so, and you never know who you may inspire to make similar music or help to create other options/platforms in terms of radio/television programming in the process.

Don't you wish MTV bass still played music like this... Don't you wish people still made music like this!

[greyonyx08]

James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006): Jay Dee helped to restore the Motown sound (with a Hip Hop flare), gave Detroit its musical identity and influenced countless producers within "The D" as well as nationally and abroad with his soulful/eclectic Hip Hop beats. On this track he passes the torch to fellow Motor City native Black Milk who produces a knocking beat Dilla rhymes first over. RIP Jay Dee & Baatin and long live the Slum Village legacy you both helped create.
